a helium balloon pops as it goes higher because the different combination of pressure. you could take a balloon in an airplane because the cabin is pressurized. as it gets higher the amount of pressure changes so it pops the balloon.

Will a lit cigarette ignite a helium balloon?

Helium is not flammable. However, the cigarette might puncture the balloon.


How high do helium balloons fly before they pop?

Depends on the type of rubber and amount of helium in balloon


Can you pop a balloon with a 1mw laser?

No, a 1mw laser is not powerful enough to pop a balloon. It would need a higher power laser to generate enough heat to burst the balloon. A laser with a power output of at least a few watts is usually needed to pop a balloon.


How do helium balloons work?

helium balloons get filled with a amount of air in which is called helium it is used to make balloons float around in air. helium is a inert,gaseous element!!!!!yea i kenisha am smartHelium is less dense than air, therefore a helium-filled balloon will float in air.Helium is lighter that air, so it effectively floats on air. As a helium balloon is submerged in air, it rises upwards (like an air filled bubble in water).


How high can a helium balloon go?

High enough, until it gets popped. So it can fly up forever. Unless, of course a bird flies into it, popping and sending it back to Earth. It will fly as high as it can until it runs out of air, or if it runs into a power line because when it runs into a power line, the current electricity will cause it to pop. There are also different reasons why the balloon will pop. The higher the balloon goes, the lower the atmospheric pressure will be, so the balloon will expand as if helium were being added. When it expands far enough, it will pop.

Why does helium balloons pop in the hot sun and what pressure is acting on it?

Helium expands in the heat, causing the gas inside the balloon to increase in pressure. As the pressure inside the balloon becomes greater than the strength of the balloon's material, it can pop. The pressure acting on the balloon is the sum of the internal pressure of the expanding helium gas and the external atmospheric pressure.


Why does a balloon pop as it goes up to the sky?

the pressure has increased


Could you use helium to float an item into space?

No, air pressure increases as the balloon goes up, so the balloon will pop and fall to the ground. You can get high up in the atmosphere (but you need a LOT of helium and a balloon that can get VERY big) you will not reach "outer" space beyond the Earth's atmosphere.


Will helium balloon pop on airplane?

On modern airplanes no, because the cabin is pressurised to the same atmospheric pressure as on the ground. If the balloon was on the outside of the plane, and the atmospheric pressure at that altitude were low enough, then yes, the balloon would pop.

If air is denser why does helium pop faster?

Because helium is less denser than air a helium balloon can rise; it is very simple !

How does temperature affect helium?

Temperature affects helium by changing its physical state. At higher temperatures, helium can transition from a liquid to a gas. Additionally, temperature can impact the behavior of helium gas, such as its diffusion rate or expansion properties.


What will a helium filled balloon do in space?

In space, a helium-filled balloon will expand further due to the lack of air pressure outside the balloon. Eventually, the balloon will burst because the pressure from the helium inside will exceed the pressure outside.

Why do balloons float when you put helium in them?

The helium weighs less than air- so when the balloon is filled, it displaces the heavier air, and floats. Just as a bit of wood weighs less than water, and floats on water. In a vacuum, a helium filled balloon would not float (but it may pop)
